Società Foggiana

The Società Foggiana, also known as the Foggia crime syndicate, is an offshoot of the Neapolitan Camorra which was founded during the late 20th century. Considered to be the "fourth mafia" alongside the Sicilian Mafia, the Calabrian Ndrangheta, and the Neapolitan Camorra, the Società Foggiana was drastically undercovered, while, by 2016, it was the most brutal and bloody of all Italian mafias. From 1987 to 2017, it was linked to 300 murders, 80% of which were unsolved. The Società Foggiana operated in two main groups, namely an inland one and one on the Gargano Peninsula, and it controlled agriculture, tourism, and the drug route through Albania. By 2019, the Società Foggiana had over 200 members.
